<em>'Dolemite Is My Name'</em> is terrific. I did find the opening 30-40 minutes to be lesser, still perfectly good but just nothing all that noteworthy. However, the following 60-80 minutes is top notch, I found it thoroughly entertaining. Eddie Murphy is great fun, while Da'Vine Joy Randolph stars behind the aforementioned. Wesley Snipes is amusing too. Gotta check out the original Dolemite movie at some point, intrigued to see how it'll translate as a film on its own footing. This 2019 flick portrays the making of that 1975 flick in very enjoyable fashion. The pacing is perfection and the comedic elements are certainly humorous. Well worth watching.
